a good idea to provide
useless powerpoints in order to comply
Well, that is where this thread began with my question about a PDF to
PowerPoint converter. The plan was to carry on with the PDFs, but
also supply a PowerPoint, without me needing to make any effort with
the PowerPoint produ

That is the _idea_, but do they demand "powerpoints with
reader control of colors" from you, or do they just
demand "powerpoi

Reader you can)
I think part of the problem is that people don't understand why I

Well, as I said in my reply to Alan, I would be surprised if any of
our PPTs are compliant.
I admit I have only just started looking at this in any depth because
it only cropped up when I casually mentioned that I was using PDFs.
Ironically to increase accessibility (in the general sense) a
I agree completly with Alan : most of the PowerPoints aren't compliant (
PowerPoint don't enforce the tagging of the images ...).
I understand that a converter can be a solution to convince somebody,
but it is a false one because I doubt the converted PDF will be more
compliant than the original
Alan,
Maybe not surprisingly, I have my own views on the logic behind this,
but as I have subsequently posted, it seems to relate to third party
software being able to work with PPT but not PDF.
In fact from my reading, it seems that most of the really specialist
software uses HTML (so yo
On the face of it, this is totally stupid.
One can easily create non-compliant Ppt
or compliant PDF.
But there is a simpler solution: HTML.
Give a lyx to HTML converter a try.
Post your HTML along with your PDFs.
Voilá: compliance.
(Or anyway, as much as the Ppt will have.)

Siegfried,
Thanks, I have read the document you gave the link to, or at least
the Acrobat 7 version, and I was using this a guide, assuming it
would also meet the SENDA requirements as I am in the UK.
But I think the argument revolves around very specialist software for

Another solution is to make de PDF accessible, see this document :

I don't know if Powerpoints are by themself more accessible than PDF. I
think that the above document can give arguments to show that a given
document conform
Although, I have found a couple via google does anyone have
experience of PDF to PowerPoint converters.
I would prefer a Mac or multiplatform option, but Windows, or even
Linux would do.
Having now been using Beamer for a few days and been very pleased
with it as a replacement for PowerPo
